MAPLE GROVE CEMETERY

Transcribed by Daundra J. Baker, Fall 1964, 1972 and
2001

This cemetery is #39 in the Michigan Cemetery Atlas of 1991;
was complied from sexton records, marker inscriptions and family
records; it is as accurate as can be and the conflicting and questionable
information is entered in RED.

It is located in Berrien County, Berrien Township, on the north
side of Maple Grove Road, 1/2 mile east of Eau Claire Road. It
was laid out on the Jonas Becker land. Maple Grove United Brethren
Church and Maple Grove School were nearby on the same property.
Many of the early setters to that area can be found buried in
this little neighborhood cemetery. The earliest recorded death
is 1831.

A visit in Sept. 2001 found many markers moved, missing, deteriorated
and broken. My first transcriptions were taken from markers, I
later crossed referenced these burials with the Berrien Center
Clerk's Burial Journal and Record of Burial. There are notations
in the Record of Burial of 'Old Numbers,' I do not know how this
system worked. Every effort has been made to be as accurate as
possible.

ALL DATA HERE IS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BY SURNAME FOR YOUR
CONVENIENCE. I truly welcome any corrections. Daundra J. Baker
